ro ments in stoves and ranges whereby a ventilation of the oven iseffected.

The object of the invention is to provide for a constant supply of freshair to the oven without lowering the temperature of the oven In securingthis result it has been my aim to utilize the surplus heat of the stove,and to this end the invention consists in the novel constructionandarrangement of parts, all as hereinafter zo fully set forth.

In the accompanying drawings illustrating the invention, Figure l, is aperspective view of a stove in which is shown at the rear near its basea row of holes for the inlet of fresh Fig. 2, is a longitudinal verticalcross section taken through the stove on the line :rfof Fig. l.

The stove or range to which the herein described improvements areapplicable may be 3o of any desired form, that shown being thewell-known form of cooking-stove or range having the fire-chamber Alocated in the u pper forward part of the same.

The stove is provided as usual with the cooking-oven B, andthewarming-oven C located at the base.

In the present instance the smoke-pipe D communicates with the interiorof the stove through an opening E located in the chamber 4o formedbetween the bottom of the oven B and warming-oven C, and by so locatingthe outiet of the products of combustion the heat units are caused totake the circuitous route shown before entering the smoke-pipe, thusthoroughly parting with their heat and uniformly heating the oven. Thedraft inclosing-chamber F formed between the oven B and the stove casingand between the two ovens is cut oft at the lower forward end and SerialNo. 477.835. (No model.)

II of the main oven and the partition I, and communicating with theWarming-oven C. The end-Wall H of the oven is provided with perforationswhereby to establish communi- 4cation between the chamber G and the mainoven, and a series of apertures K are formed f in the rear end of theWarmingoven to allow the entrance of fresh air from the inlet holes I.in the stove casing. The rear end of the oven near its top is providedwith a series of openings M protected by a hood N secured to the outerface of the end Wall and extending down over said openings whereby toprevent any possibility of the entrance of smoke to the oven. The courseof the draft effected by the above described construction andarrangement is clearly shown by the arrows; the draft of the smoke iiuefrom the lirechamber being over the top of the oven down at its rear endand thence under the same and out through the opening E; and the freshair draft is from the opening L through the warming-oven where itbecomes heated in its passage therethrough, and thence into the chamberG between the forward end of the main oven and the inner wall of thefire chamber andl ash-pit where its temperature is brought to a stillhigher degree preparatory to entering the main oven through theperforations in its forward end. This draft of freshairisbroughtaboutbythesmokedrattthrough the communication in the upperportion Vof the rear end of the oven as will be readily understood.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a stove or range the combination with Y of the cooking oven, downat its rear end and 10o 5o a chamber G formed between the forward end Intestimony whereof I hereunto ax my signature in the presence of twoWitnesses.
